Bishop, who is an alumnus of the Manchester School of Theatre, previously starred in Frontier Developments’ Elite Dangerous: Horizons and alongside Sherlock actor Martin Freeman in 2015’s The Eichmann Show.

Bishop welcomed the announcement on Twitter, saying that “It’s official” and that she is “So proud to have been involved in Assassin’s Creed Origins.”

Actor Alix Wilton Regan, who plays Aya in Origins, also took to Twitter to express her excitement in the news.

“Ladies and Gents, the mega-talented beauty playing Cleopatra is @ZoraBishop — wildly funny [in real life] and brilliantly ruthless as Cleo,” she tweeted.

Ubisoft announced the other cast members in subsequent tweets, which included Regan and Abubakar Salim as the actor behind main protagonist Bayek.
